Markdown is how many people write: READMEs, docs, notes, AI drafts. HTML is what websites, CMSs and email builders need. Converting is straightforward, as long as you choose the right output for where it's going.
Full page or fragment?
- Full HTML page: a standalone
.htmlfile with basic styling. Double-click it and it opens nicely in a browser. Good for sharing a document or a quick static page. - HTML fragment: just the content (
<h1>,<p>,<ul>…), no<html>or<head>. Good for pasting into WordPress, Ghost, Webflow, a newsletter tool or your own template.

Yes, including tables, task lists and fenced code blocks.
Can I paste the HTML into WordPress?
Yes. Use the fragment option and paste it into a Custom HTML block or the code editor.
